Life in March
Things have been relatively uneventful...as much as that can be in my life.
The situation at work is less hectic, but the fires are still going to have an effect on our workload for a while. Each department had mandatory counselling/debriefing on Friday, which was a lot less hokey than expected and we ended up not being so annoyed by the 'mandatory' part. The counsellor was surprised how well we (in administration) were all coping and said we were handling things as well as could be expected.
I have unrelated issues with our female COO, which I've spoken to my bosses about. It's not an easily solved situation, but at least I've got it on record that I'm not happy and why. My role is mostly concerned with the pathology side of the business because of the roles of my bosses, not the general admin area. However, there's a grey area where I am also to support the admin managers when required. The problem is I don't have anything to do with that area on a daily basis, so I don't know what they need, or when. Added to that, I physically have my back to that area, so I can't see when they're busy....I can't know what I need to do when I don't know what I don't know. Unfortunately, my two bosses have opposing ideas about how to address my frustrations. My probation ends on 12 April and I hope to be feeling better about the problem before then, or I'll need to address it again, when both my bosses are on leave. I do not want to try to get things resolved without their support and backing.
My medications are working well, although I'm not allowed to take as much of one as I'd like, until I get another heart echo some time in May. Still, it's better than nothing and making a difference. I've been having some heart pains; enough to be an annoyance, but not enough to make me too concerned just yet. I don't think it's related to the medications.
M is coming down here from 24 May to 1 June. I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it all, but we're getting on well and know where we each stand. Last night, we talked for a couple of hours about nothing in particular. There are expectations, but there are no expectations. I have been overthinking the entire scenario, but have mostly let that go now. It will be what it will be and I'll worry about that in a few weeks.
Early to bed tonight. I have a new client starting tomorrow morning. Six o'clock on a Monday morning. She's keen!

6 am? UGH! :)
Sounds like things are more or less working themselves out... or at least moving that way, which is good.
:) Keep us posted!
Fires out of the office and in the office......never a dull moment.
Though--I gotta say I must be outta the loop cuz I'm still trying to piece together what I don't know. LOL COULD just mean more coffee is required? Probably just means I'm ME.....bit braindead even with caffeine.
I'll just be glad for things being improved with your health, even if they're not to the level you'd wish them to be.
An old Jarhead just checking in, life has been crazy this past year. The date on your post was June I believe and it is now late October........guess our timing is off. Hope you remain well, drifting toward Happy!
